Summary

Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Reporting Act of 1986 - Requires each Federal entity, in the 90-day period beginning on October 1 of every fiscal year, to send the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission a written report pertaining to each of the five previous fiscal years with respect to job applications, hiring, training, and promoting of employees. Requires such report to detail data for each separate component and installation of the entity and for the entity as a whole. Prescribes the contents of such reports, including data on white males and minority groups and their representation, mobility patterns, disciplinary actions, and recruitment. Requires the Commission to publish in the Federal Register by January 31 of each fiscal year the identity of each Federal entity which fails to file such a report. Requires the head of any Federal entity which fails to file such a report to submit a statement of reasons for the failure to the Commission by December 31, together with a request for an informal hearing to state such reasons orally. Authorizes the Commission to summon witnesses and compel the production of evidence in the course of investigating such failure. Requires the Commission to issue an order mandating the submission of such report by March 31. Directs the Commission to commence a civil action to compel submission of such report if the entity has not complied with the order by April 30. Authorizes any employee of or applicant for employment with such entity, or a labor organization recognized by such entity, to commence a civil action in an appropriate district court to compel the head of the entity to submit such report if the Commission has failed to commence such an action within two years after the appropriate April 30 deadline. Requires the Commission to make an on-site verification of such reports at one component or installation of each Federal entity at least once every three years.
